PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The PD150 is an InGaAs photodiode with a
photosensitive region 150μm in diameter. It is
intended for use in moderate speed, low noise
communication systems (up to 1Gb/s data rates)
as well as applications in test and measurement
and other optical power sensing devices. The
large active area allows the use of multimode
fiber.
Reliability is assured by hermetic sealing and
100% purge burn-in (200°C, 15 hours, Vr = 15V).
The device can be assembled on a ceramic sub-
mount or in a TO can. It can be pigtailed with SC,
FC or ST connectors (UPC or APC). It can also be
mounted in an SC, ST of FC receptacle. Custom
packages are an option.
